Event Information
Need a break from studying and want to visit the sea? Then what better way to do this than coming with us to Brighton! The seaside city has so much to offer with its wonderful promenade, grand hotels, world renound pier as well as a rich diverse culture and historical importance.
Brighton is a very old Victorian town which has been one of the most popular seaside towns in the UK for centurys. Today is known as a "hippest city" with its many landmarks such as the Royal Pavilion and the Brighton Wheel, variety of festivals all year round and interesting LGBT history. There is certainly not a shortage of places to visit in this tranquil place.
What do I need to bring?
This day trip is designed to be fairly easy-going, letting you explore the castle in your own time and at your pace! That said we would always strongly advice that all students/explorers be prepared and bring the following:
- Weather appropriate clothing (bringing a waterproof coat in the British Isles is always a safe bet!)
- Sturdy shoes or trainers
- Back pack
- A camera to snap some selfies
- At least two bottles of water
- Some money for souvenirs and snacks
We would also advise you to bring a small packed lunch, even if you plan on buying food in one of the cafes.
